Brown sugar scrub

I was in the spa a few weeks ago and they had samples of a scrub that was on sale for thirty euro. It was beautiful. It smelled great and it felt great. I knew it would be possible to make at home.

I searched Pinterest for a while and I found some really great natural skincare recipes. I used a recipe from the praire homestead and I ammended it to suit what was available to me.

I used 35g cocoa butter, 56g coconut oil, 56g sunflower oil, 1 and a half cups of dark brown sugar and the seeds of a vanilla pod. I melted the cocoa butter and coconut oil in a bain Marie. Then I just mixed everything together and poured it into jars. The next time I make it I won't use the vanilla seeds as they stay on the skin after I rinse. I feel great and I smell amazing! Unfortunately, it is cold and all the oils solidified at the top of the jar.

I filled the sink with some hot water and put the jar in while I got ready for my shower. By the time I got in it had melted again. It is SO moisturising on the skin.
